New IEEE Plaque at Collis Center Marks the Birth of Basic (2021)

The IEEE places plaques in places where notable events occurred in the history of electrical engineering and computer science. This is an article from Dartmouth university describing the plaque placed at the Collis Center commemorating the birth of the BASIC programming language.

The Engineering and Technology Wiki has more about the plaque, though it appears to have been written before the plaque was unveiled:

The plaque reads: "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC) was created in this building. During the mid-1970s and 1980s, BASIC was the principal programming language used on early microcomputers. Its simplicity and wide acceptance made it useful in fields beyond science and mathematics, and enabled more people to harness the power of computation. -February 2021"
